The goodness of Oasis opens at Main Plaza

There’s an Oasis Mexican restaurant at 210 McCullough Ave. and one at 323 N. Main Ave. I’m not sure as to the histories of the eateries and their past and present ownerships. They certainly at least at one point were related because they have the exact same palm tree logo window painted the exact same way.

Anywho, now there’s a third Oasis. It’s located in one of Main Plaza’s kiosks. A handful of operations have tried to make it there on the west end of the plaza — Justin’s Ice Cream and something about a panini — but things didn’t unfold correctly. Perhaps the myriad government workers who pass the kiosk daily will grow a liking to Oasis’ flavor.

I could probably write — would like to write, actually — a dissertation on Oasis, the complexities of the food, the paradoxes in its menu (how one bite of its carne guisada w/cheese taco yields a blissfulness I never achieved in my drug years, but how their puffy taco’s fathoms below any of Taco Bell’s selections). How, of Tex-Mex’s endless permutations, how they found the perfect combo of one fajita taco, one cheese enchilada, rice, beans and a guacamole chip cup and called it Mamy’s Special. And, despite the Mexican Plate’s aftereffects every single time, how I keep going back to it. TMI? I would like to think public service, but anyway.

They’ve got a special at this new one: two breakfast tacos with a drink for $2.99. I’ll have to try it and Tweet/Facebook it. Have you tried the special? Please, share with the rest of the group.
